Hi there! I'm stopping by today to announce some important updates to KnightOS.

TI-84+ Color Silver Edition support

KnightOS now supports the 84+ Color Silver Edition! You can switch back and forth between color and monochrome modes seamlessly. In fact, you can write a single KnightOS program and run it on anything from the TI-73 all the way to the 84+ CSE! KnightOS also supports the expanded Flash chip, and the filesystem was modified to accomodate it.



File Manager

KnightOS also has a file manager now! You can browse your filesystem and delete files now. More functions (like renaming nodes) will be added as kernel support grows.



fx3dlib

matref has built a 3D graphics library for KnightOS as well. It's quite cool:



Kernel 0.6.0

Just today, I released kernel 0.6.0. You can get a copy of it here. Notable changes include:

• Partially writable filesystem and opendir
• Date/time support (thanks to addatoo for writing this)
• New executable format

Congrats on these very nice features

Thanks Adriweb. And another quick update - I pushed out kernel 0.6.1 to fix a bug that prevented the 84+ CSE from booting under certain conditions.

that's so nice ! thanks sir, we support you !

I put up some test builds today, if anyone wants to try it out: https://gist.github.com/SirCmpwn/93353de9430da7ca21e1

I published the kernel to ticalc, and that seems to have confused some people. The kernel alone doesn't do anything for the user. You also need the userspace.

The kernel is something most people should not mess with. Instead, you'll want to try out KnightOS, which is the whole package - kernel and userspace together. The builds I put together today are just that.

So much progress has been made, including an in-the-work Phoenix port by SirCmpwn :

KnightOS is now the first operating system with support for Phoenix on the TI-84+ CSE

Good work

Congrats, that's exciting news

Very great work, thanks!
